Abstract : A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare primary mesenchymal tumor of the orbit with typical clinical manifestations and varied phenotypic morphology. They also have unique immunohistochemical properties, which form the mainstay of the diagnosis of SFT. Orbital SFTs reported in the literature are mostly extraconal or intraconal in origin. Here, we report a unique case of SFT of ocular origin, namely scleral, with a long clinical course of over 18 years.
